On the morning of the second competition day, Albert woke up very early after getting enough sleep. He stood up and half leaned on the bedside, gently caressed Tom who was acting cute and begging for breakfast, and slowly turned his newly awakened brain, thinking in his heart

The original plan was rethought to ensure that there would be no fatal loopholes in any link.

Although the possibility of this is almost zero, but...well, Albert admitted that he was a little irritable, maybe this is the so-called care and chaos.

As far as he knew, just yesterday afternoon, Hermione and Ron had quietly "disappeared", but Fred, George and Lee Jordan were still lying in a warm bed, sleeping soundly.

This is not a good sign.

Since none of his three good roommates were selected as the baby by the competition, the only candidates for the baby could be Isobel or Nia. Nia was directly eliminated by him, and Isobel was the most likely candidate for the baby.

.

In order to verify this, Albert tried to contact Isobel last night, but the other party did not reply.

In fact, Albert really didn't want to involve Isobel in the Triwizard Tournament, let alone let her encounter possible dangers. Although the possibility was extremely low, who knew whether little Barty would suddenly go crazy?

As we all know, Death Eaters usually don't have normal minds.

He wanted to nip the danger in the bud, but the time had not yet come.

However, now that things have happened, there is no point in complaining now. The key is to complete the second project as soon as possible.

The original plan was to use the Bubble Charm to supply air, the Warmth Charm to maintain the temperature, the propeller to provide power, and the underwater breathing agent as a backup plan for any accidents to avoid drowning in the water.

Then, use the tracking spell to lock the coordinates of the last time you stayed in the mermaid village, and quickly find the mermaid village.

As for the Grindylows he might encounter on the road, Albert really didn't take it to heart. It was probably unavoidable anyway, so he just dismissed them. The Water Monster Expelling Curse had been upgraded to the second level, and he couldn't deal with a group of Grindylows who had no fighting ability in the first place.

Luo is not difficult at all. The only thing you should pay attention to is that you can't be approached by a large number of Grindylows.

This plan can be described in one word: stable.

However, Albert feels that there is no need to leave any backup plan now. This plan is actually reserved for a possible sneak attack. The head soaking spell is still unsafe. If the spell is lifted by a wizard at the bottom of the lake, it may not be able to survive.

When he came to the surface, he drowned directly in the water.

If Albert wanted to murder a certain warrior, he would do this. After all, Avada Kedavra would not leave any traces, which is the biggest trace, and drowning in the water would really leave no evidence.

If someone dares to use this method to deal with him, Albert will give him an impressive lesson, so profound that he will send him on his way.

However, he planned to use everything he could this time to complete the second project as quickly as possible and rescue Isobel from the lake.

After going over it several times in his mind and confirming that he could cope with any possible accidents, Albert got dressed and started organizing the things he would use next.

To be honest, it's been a long time since he faced something so solemnly and seriously.

As soon as he came downstairs to have breakfast, Albert was surrounded by a large group of students. Everyone was sending their blessings in such a chaotic manner that he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Compared with Albert who was surrounded by countless people, Harry Potter alone became a pitiful man, especially when Ron and Hermione were not around, Harry Potter's back looked even thinner.

He was desolate, and only his roommate was having breakfast with him.

After nine o'clock, Professor McGonagall appeared in the lobby on time and led the two of them towards the competition venue. Compared with the first project, she seemed to have gained a lot more confidence.

Neither Albert nor Harry had the intention to listen to her, they were both thinking about their own things.

"Are you ready?" Professor McGonagall looked at Harry's backpack.

"Well prepared, Professor." Harry said calmly, "I need a place to change."

"There's a tent over there." Professor McGonagall turned and asked again, "Where's Albert?"

"no problem."

"Go in and wish you good luck!"

Professor McGonagall led the two of them to the entrance of the tent by the lake, and Albert and Harry walked in front and back.

This tent was more luxurious and comfortable than the previous ones. It had separate compartments and comfortable seats. Krum was wearing a cloak and sitting in an armchair with his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

After noticing someone entering the tent, he looked up at the entrance. When he realized that it was Albert who came in, he nodded towards him.

Opposite Klum, Fleur was also wearing a cloak, and her face was not very good-looking. She was obviously worried about her sister Gabrielle. She didn't react at all after the two entered the tent. Albert could understand Fleur's current situation very well.

Feeling.

Harry and Albert each went to the compartment to change out of their lake diving clothes.

Albert put on special clothes, put on a bracelet for detecting wizards, tied his wand to the detection bracelet with a rope, took out a medicine with an underwater respirator attached to it from his cloak pocket, and poured out two

I put a pill similar to cod liver oil into my mouth and just chew it and swallow it when I go to the lake. The time is almost up anyway.

Two underwater breathing pills can probably keep him in the water for about half an hour. For Albert, half an hour is enough to complete the task.

As for taking underwater breathing agents, it is more of a safeguard.

After changing into a black tight suit and coming out of the compartment, Albert found that Harry was wearing a diving suit that was somewhat similar to his own, and he was holding diving flippers in his hand, as if he planned to change into it after entering the water later.

The warriors did not stay in the tent for long. Dumbledore led the other judges into the tent. He cleared his throat and told the warriors about the second project: to regain the stolen treasure within an hour.

This was originally the job of Ludo Bagman, but since that unlucky guy started living as a debt evader, the Triwizard Tournament that was supposed to be hosted by officials from the Ministry of Magic has completely changed (there are three fewer referees).

Cornelius Fudge, Amelia Bones and Rufus Scrimgeour, who came over to serve as temporary referees, were not suitable to officiate the game (they were not familiar with the situation), so in the end they had to hand over the commentary work to Dumbledore.

Lido, Madame Maxime doesn’t have any objection anyway.

Well, actually no one can take this job.

As for finding another explanation?

No, the Ministry of Magic cannot afford to lose face like this. This Triwizard Tournament has almost turned into a joke.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go over and get ready!" After Dumbledore finished briefly explaining, he led the warriors to the lake to get ready.

Krum took off his cloak and placed it on the chair, revealing his thin body wearing only swimming trunks. He took the lead in walking out of the tent.

Fleur also took off her cloak, which was a decent and elegant swimsuit underneath. It was undeniable that Fleur looked very sexy in the swimsuit. Albert couldn't help but take a few more glances, and Harry next to him almost couldn't look away.

, it wasn’t until Albert tapped him lightly on the shoulder that he came back to his senses, looking a little embarrassed, and the two of them left the tent one after the other.

The circular grandstand that surrounded the Fire Dragon Stadium last November was now unfolded in an arc and placed on the shore of the Black Lake. It was filled with excited spectators, and some even whistled at the warriors entering the arena.

After Dumbledore ordered the warriors to line up on the shore, he returned to the referee's seat covered with a golden tablecloth, pointed his wand at his throat, and said to the audience at the Black Lake: "Our warriors are already in their positions. They

They have a full hour to take back what was taken from them. Now listen to my whistle! One...two...three!"

The sharp whistle echoed in the cold, still air.

The stands immediately burst into cheers and applause.

However, what surprised them was that the warriors were all making their own preparations and were not in a hurry to get into the lake.

Harry Potter was casting various spells on himself, putting on his diving fins, and then staggered towards the Black Lake. However, he was not the fastest.

Well, Miss Furong may be the only exception. She just put a bubble spell on herself and hurriedly went into the lake. Perhaps she had never tried to dive into the lake before, so she was the most hurried among all the warriors.

.

Krum used transformation magic on himself, and finally went into the water with a shark's head on his head.

While all the warriors were taking action, Albert was patiently waiting for the underwater breathing agent to take effect.

There was a hint of Slytherin boasting from the stands in front, but more people were curious about what he planned to do, at least no one thought he was afraid to go into the water.

"It seems that our Mr. Anderson has other plans."

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Albert stretched out his hands in front of him, as if he was looking at something carefully.

There were webs between his fingers, and the underwater breathing agent began to work.

"Look, he used a clever Transfiguration Spell to turn that stone into something." Dumbledore watched as he bent down to pick up a stone from the lake and used his wand to cast the Transfiguration Spell on the stone. "

Let’s wait and see what surprises Mr. Anderson will bring us.”

Surprise, no, I should say shock!

After Albert took the underwater booster into the lake, he headed towards the center of the Black Lake at an extremely alarming speed. The speed was really scary. In just over a minute, he had already reached a certain point in the Black Lake.

The position was lost, and the students and referees in the audience were immediately stunned.

How he did it is a question everyone wants to know.

After arriving in the lake, Albert used the tracking spell again. After determining the distance between the three anchor points, he turned over and plunged deep into the lake bottom.

The lake water is no longer freezing cold. On the contrary, it is very cool and comfortable, and the body becomes very light in the water. This is all due to the effect of underwater breathing agents. The most important thing is that after diving into the lake, my eyesight has become better.

You can even see very far and clearly.

Albert no longer talked about martial arts. From the beginning, there was no need to search for the mermaid village in the lake like others. Instead, he dived and airborne directly from the mermaid village.

The scene in front of me was changing rapidly. The deeper I dived, the lower the visibility became, and the light became hazy and dim. Directly below, the dark green lake water continued to fluctuate, which was a large tangled aquatic plant.

, there must be many Grindylows hidden in the aquatic jungle, and they might be attacked as soon as they get close.

Therefore, Albert stopped diving when he reached the top of the aquatic jungle.

He waved his wand and began to stir up the water in the lake below, preparing to force out all the nearby Grindylows. Once the sneak attack advantage was lost, Grindylows would no longer be in danger.

It was like poking a hornet's nest. A large number of Grindylows emerged from the jungle of water plants and rushed towards this direction quickly. Albert did not give them a chance, and directly rolled up the undercurrent and swept away the group of unlucky ones who rushed over.

It was rolled far away.

The few remaining Grindylows who could get close were all knocked down by Albert using the water monster expulsion spell. The speed and violence of the method shocked the mermaid who was hiding in the water plants and observing secretly.
